McNabb?

I know in the past, Donovan McNabb has been the target of scrutiny, mainly from Rush Limbaugh. But he has been a solid QB every season of his career. I just read this article on ESPN about how this could be his last season in Philly and the Eagles might trade him while he still has value. Would the Panthers be interested? Contract too high with Delhomme still on the roster?

Personally, I'd cut Jake in a heartbeat and trade for McNabb if it could be done frugally. To squeeze one good year out of him could mean Superbowl for the right team if the Eagles were to let him go. But with Delhomme's contract, I don't think the Panthers would make a move like this.

I've always liked McNabb which makes it difficult to fully hate the Eagles. I watch him throw the ball and I am truly amazed. Flick of the wrist and it's 20 yards down the field. But Philly has a west coast system and I'm not sure he could make the switch.

This. Would love McNabb in a Panthers uniform, growing up he was one of my favorite players.

See this is one reason I like the Eagles they know when to get rid of players. BTW I would take McNabb here for a 3 year contract.

One thing the Eagles don't do is hang onto a person too long, that is for sure. They have a knack of letting guys go a year or so before their decline is really noticeable (not saying Mcnabb is going to decline but he is getting older).

And yes, the Eagles run a West coast offense but I have always thought McNabb might actually do better in another system. A change in system wouldn't be a tough transition for him I wouldn't think but I am not a QB.

They have been saying this each year for the last 3 years, but who knows......today might have an influence on what they decide to do. A bad loss today and I can see the new Kolb era beginning and this being his last game as an Eagle. I could also see McNabb being the starter next year.

With all that being said, what do you have that the Eagles might want? I will forward the best offer to the Eagles for consideration.

I fear inability to transition and that would make me hesitant to get McNabb, but he is smart and I personally would probably take the gamble. If I wasn't burdened with Jake that is.

      SC won the ACC title the week before in Clemsons own house. Committee was worried about optics over talent.

      Brooks wasn’t the worst offensive draft mistake the panthers made this year

      It's crazy how folks on the huddle can draft better than our highly paid scouts.  I know I saw several mocks with the first 3 selections going Ladd, Frazier and Wilson like the above post.  Heck, one of them may have been mine.  It seems that the scouts go into paralysis by analysis.  Ladd might not be the ideal weight or height, it's tabo to draft centers high, Wilson had past injuries.  All that said, those dudes just dominated at their respective positions. Our scouting department and Morgan need the K.I.S.S montra--keep it simple stupid. STOP overthinking it.

      This team has long had an allergy to the obvious pick. They take an XL and think they can coach him up to be the next megaton or DK. Brooks to be the next Peterson. Burns to be the next LT. They pick dudes and play them outside of their natural position. They draft for need, get desperate, pick the flawed guy, and the results speak for themselves. They go to the store jonesing for a ribeye, the store is sold out except for the ‘manager’s special’ … and end up with a toilet of puke later that night…  whereas the filet that was sitting right next to it got some other dude laid.  The obvious pick with no need of coaching up has done them pretty well. Moose. Peppers. Kuechly. Davis. Gross. Jenkins, etc.  Sometimes obvious is just obvious. Consistently missing on first and second rounders gets them exactly where they are. Loser teams, devoid of talent and a revolving door at head coach.  WR: Pick the guy who can catch the damn ball. DE: pick the guy who can play the run well. Pass rush is nice, but playing the run is better.  center: smart big guy who doesn’t miss assignments.  tackle: good pass protector first. Run blocker second. If you have a really good QB and receivers that can catch, the running game will open itself up by default.    It’s not THAT hard, right? Diamonds in the rough are usually only quartz. Stop picking up dudes whose flaw is THE primary skill required for their position, thinking that you’ve got some sort of magical staff. Go BPA with the healthy guy who just flat out gets it done better than anyone else still available…. Except for a RB or special teamer. Yes BPA is boring, but it stacks the team with legit talent.    That’s what I’m going to call their reaches from now on. The f-in manager’s special. Break out the cast iron griddle, Montreal steak seasoning, and some avocado oil.
